Hi Friends,
Finally, after all the hurdles, approvals, delays, financial stress, and endless follow-ups, we reached one of the most emotional milestones of our journey.
We decided to lift and install our machines during the auspicious days of Navratri, January 2026.
Like many startup founders, somewhere during this journey we had already stopped differentiating between personal life and work life. Because of this installation phase, we even cancelled our personal holidays and festive plans. At that moment, nothing felt more important than seeing our dream finally take shape.
And then one day, the machine parts started arriving at our factory.
For many people, a machine may simply look like equipment. But for us, every component carried months of thinking, planning, discussions, risks, and belief.
Our machine was not a ready-made commercial setup purchased directly from a single supplier. Since the beginning, we were designing the system according to our own process understanding and product requirements. Different sections and components were developed and manufactured by four different vendors based on our customized design and operational needs.
At the same time, we were moving from prototype-level experimentation toward commercial-scale production — and that transition brought an entirely different level of challenge.
What works in small trials does not always work the same way at industrial scale.
The next 15 days were completely dedicated to installation:
- Connecting machine sections
- Aligning systems
- Integrating process flow
- Planning support structures
- Solving fabrication challenges
One of the biggest difficulties came while fixing and aligning the screw and barrel assembly with the force feeder system. Small technical mismatches created delays, and after installation we still had to do additional fabrication work to properly support and stabilize the machine.
Every day brought a new problem.
And every problem brought a new learning.
But slowly, piece by piece, the machine started taking shape.
And finally came the day we had imagined for months.
After performing puja and taking blessings, we started the machine for its very first trial run.
Thankfully, the machine started successfully.
That moment is very difficult to explain in words.
Something that once existed only in drawings, calculations, and conversations was finally standing in front of us — alive and operational.
But startup journeys teach one thing very clearly:
The first successful run is never the final success.
Our machine was a three-stage process system, which made synchronization and operational tuning far more complex. Even though the machine was running, achieving stable production and the exact required output still needed continuous adjustments.
For the next 7–8 days, we worked almost nonstop:
- Changing parameters
- Balancing operations
- Fine-tuning the process
- Improving output quality
- Stabilizing production speed
Slowly, the machine started responding exactly the way we had imagined.
And finally, after all the effort, sleepless nights, and continuous experimentation:
The machine started running at full speed with the desired output.
That day gave us a completely different confidence.
Not just because the machine was operational —
but because we realized that the dream we had carried only in our minds had finally started becoming reality.
Perhaps that is what entrepreneurship truly means.
Turning ideas into systems.
Turning uncertainty into action.
And continuing to move forward even when nothing feels easy.
The journey is still long.
But this was one of the first moments where we truly felt:
“Yes… Rebits has finally started.”
With determination,
Co-Founders
